All Saint's Day of the Dead Girl Walking the Line
Well, that was fun. I hope everyone came away satisfied with his or her Halloween tarot reading/mortgage lending/fucked-up domain renewal circus of terror courtesy of agirlandaboy.com.
I don't want to talk about it.
I also don't want to talk about the move. I did it, I'm out, the end.
I especially don't want to talk about how this morning when I passed by the thrift store at which we dropped off the last bag of my clothes I saw one of my beloved sundresses and one of my beloved fluorescent bikini tops laying there all bedraggled and forgotten on the sidewalk. I wanted to pick them up and hug them to me and whisper furtive apologies for leaving them to such a fate, but, like I said, I don't really want to talk about it.
I also don't want to talk about Halloween, although I should point out that not only did we forgo dressing up and hanging out with the stabbin' and shootin' crowd in the Castro (Teddy and Simon: I TOLD YOU SO), we also didn't carve pumpkins. This marks only the second time in my entire life that I haven't carved pumpkins (the other time being last year), and although there was no way in hell we could have made that kind of time and mess commitment in the midst of the boxes and the crying and the psychic Chinese astrology travel agent video rentals, I sincerely hope Simon and I haven't inadvertently started a tradition of omission where jack-o-lanterns are concerned.
Now, if you'll all please look to your right, you'll see below the ads (which didn't get any traffic all day yesterday; grrr; there goes that $2 nest egg I was counting on) that I've signed up for a certain contagious mental illness going around called NaBloPoMoHoCho. This is Day 1 (rabbit, rabbit). How am I doing so far?
Here are some things that don't suck:
Heather Champ's 10 seconds
Amy is getting married!
Beck is having a girl!
Juniper is a panda!
Tonight we are having SUSHI.
I miss sushi.
Dutch-
Try using a scope.

Glad things are back to right on the internets, I was concerned!
Amanda told me about the weird happenings with your site, but I didn't experience it myself. Looking forward to sharing mental posting illness with you :)
very cool photo. and regarding sushi: consider the ability to consume it as one of the best things about being not-pregnant the next time you are overwhelmed with baby longing ;)
mmmmm....sushi....
I am already drooling in anticipation of our trip to CA in November. Because sushi is on the list.
Glad everything is OK with your site!
Pregnant co-worker and I slunk down to Little Tokyo today for 1 last sushi hurrah before she has to acknowledge that she's knocked up and shouldn't be eating sushi or something. I don't know, I didn't know pregant women weren't allowed to have sushi but she was moaning about brie and sushi and having kids so close together and I was trying to look empathetic while stuffing as much salmon nigiri down my craw as possible.
Ah gotta run, annoying attorney looking at me like I'm going to solve all his problems. I've already kept him dangling for 30 minutes just for my personal amusement.
Damn it, I still suck.
It's all about balance, Will.
you are so very very cool for sharing my happiness!
Another person who says "rabbit, rabbit." I like you more and more each day.
Ah, all is back to normal.
I have never carved a pumpkin in my life.
I thought your blog had died and gone to blogger heaven, all "I'm way too cool for a goodbye post, y'all."
I'm glad to see that's not, uh, the case. Yay. And another yay to living together.
You make an awfully attractive dead person.
Sushi. I'd like sushi. Actually I'd like to go to Blowfish in San Francisco and have sushi and a mojito (God, their mojitos are the best ever)
I am SO glad that your blog is no longer lost and gone forever on my computer! Seriously, I was starting to panic.
It's never too late to carve a pumpkin. You could cut one up like a turkey and then make pumpkin pie. Sort of a seamless transition to the next holiday, no?
I missed you! I missed you! I was so distressed yesterday. AND I ALSO DIDN'T GET TO CARVE A PUMPKIN THIS YEAR!!!! I shall blog about that also because it is a tragedy. I'm so glad you're back!
I didn't stop by and see the weird site. Oops. I also don't see any ads on your site (never have), so don't blame me for not clicking! I was going to sign up for the insanity, but didn't. I'm going to unofficially participate and try to post every day this month anyway.
